Assurance Of Believing In The Power Of God

A door is an entrance to or an exit from.  Consider Jesus as the door.  Enter and find rest:  "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11: 28, Key Bible KJV) Exit the door is outside the will of God. There the world awaits to devour you and spew you out as a vile testimony. What hinders you from entering into rest?  Jesus is inviting you to come in and have rest.  This rest is for those who labor in the vineyard, those who suffer spiritual anxiety. Have you grown tired of people, places, and things outside of the will of God? Jesus invites you take His yoke and learn of him and have everlasting rest. Consider this, which would you prefer; resting in Jesus or perish with the world? 

"From men which are thy hand, O Lord, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes." (Psalm 17: 14, Key Bible, KJV) The ways of this world are wicked and the wicked men who store up wealth for their children they have their reward here on earth. God stills the hunger of those he cherish.  Yet an innocent man will wait to receive his reward which is in heaven for the earthly rewards shall pass away. In this life the locust will reap and what he sows for another man shall consume his earthly wealth. "As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied when I awake, with thy likeness." (Psalm 17:15, Key Bible, KJV) For God's people their reward is enjoying the presence of God.  Scripture tells us the sun and moon will cease to give light because God's glory will be the light.  Can you...

There came a time in our lives when we received dreadful news that launched us into such fear it knotted our stomachs.  Forces came upon us in such a way we knew defeat is a certainty.  King Jehoshaphat was confronted with dreadful news.  "Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying.  There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea on this side Syria; and, behold, they be in Hazazon-tamar, which is Engedi.  And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah." (2 Chron 20: 2,3) The king feared, he sought the Lord, and proclaimed a fast.  Often we fear, run, and try to fight the battle ourselves.  Usually once one becomes accustom to losing they will immediately give up when faced with what seems to be a losing cause. King Jehoshaphat knew the battle is Gods and with such an immovable faith, God's people didn't have to fight, God took care of their enemies.  When w...

How often have me made promises to God only to break that promise as soon as its made.  Ironically many of us have experienced this at one time or another, however, we reach a state of gratification and forget what brought on our troubles until it happens again. Consider Achan's sin in Joshua 7: 1.  " But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing:  and the anger of the Lord was kindled against the children of Israel." (Key Bible, KJV) Joshua suffered defeat at Ai because of disobedience.  When we break faith with God there are consequences, just as Israel learned.  Achan's attempt to hide his sin from God resulted in the death of himself and his entire family. It seems cruel that a the God of love would do this thing to one of own.  Not cruel at all.  Each time we take charge of our lives the result...

On the morning I woke the sun shined brightly.  I thought what a beautiful day.  On the night the full moon shine brightly and its beautiful. Everything that God creates is beautiful and the greatest beauty he created, is, YOU!!

In today's world, in our communities, families and social media life we can see and hear much about what is happening in a person's life.  There are photos posted of self and family activities.  There are posted announcements of various functions that are interesting to a diverse group of individuals.  The fallacies captured in some of these social media scenes are acted out in real life, therefore, watching reality television is becoming a thing of the past, because one can interact with the social media. Jesus said "Be wise as a serpent and harmless as doves," however, in this dying world the serpent struck the dove with intent on killing the spirit.  Often humankind give Satan to much credit for what he had nothing to do with.  Each time something goes wrong in our lives Satan is blamed.  When something is going great credit is given to self.  God is called when things are so bad we reach out to him to deliver us, only to return to the same mess...

Have you ever wondered how high is the sky.  It goes beyond the depths of our mind.  The moon, nor the sun can reach it, yet the stars are higher than they so again, how high is the sky? We say God's kingdom is beyond the sky; is it? how can you be sure?  Those that read and study scripture know that Jesus said he was going to prepare a place for those who are his.  Did Jesus say where this place is?  We know the bible speaks of God's temple, his kingdom, heaven.  Do you know where these places are? Oh please don't get it wrong these places do exist. Do you know how to get there?  make sure you check your boarding pass because they do come with an expiration date and traveling to these places can change without notification from the Father, Son, or Holy Spirit.  It would wise to keep you boarding pass up to date, because when the Judge appears and we all are standing in line to see if our name is the book of life and if you don't hear your...
